BEIJING -- Wang Huning, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), on Friday urged CPPCC members to intensify research and consultation to offer valuable suggestions for advancing the cause of people with disabilities.

"Ensuring a happy and fulfilling life for people with disabilities is an essential requirement for promoting Chinese modernization," Wang said.

He called upon CPPCC members to focus on the new situations and challenges in advancing the cause for such individuals while urging more targeted and practical proposals based on thorough investigations and research.

Democratic oversight should be strengthened to ensure the effective implementation of policies supporting those with disabilities, Wang noted.
